Checking e-mails, cooking curry.
Where’s the prompt? Please hurry, hurry!
Not a mother, not a wife,
But still, WordPress, I have a life!
I need to go to buy some rice,
and a shower would be nice.
I’d like to take a swim and then
comb OkCupid for some men.
Instead, I sit like some blog glutton,
staring at my “renew” button.
Is every minute too excessive?
Every hour too regressive?
I understand this sleeping in
on Sunday’s really not a sin.
For, however, those who wait,
it feels like you’ve stood up your date!
That we adore you goes unsaid,
(We know you probably aren’t paid.)
But if all Sunday you plan to snore,
could you please prompt the night before?
(Note: The prompt was finally posted at 11:43 PM. Now the question is, is this today’s late prompt or tomorrow’s early one? Always a new thrill in the world of blogging!!! Since I’ve already written four poems today, guess I will think of this prompt for tomorrow, or not at all. Anyway, I think with a prompt this late it was fair to choose my own, don’t you? Happy blogging.)

3:15 and still no prompt. Hmmmmmmm. They are going to have to find a new word for it.

But for you, “no prompt” turns into a prompt. You are well and truly hooked, which is great for all your daily readers.

It’s a grave situation, Patti. I agreed to monitor the Daily Prompt webpage (and put a link to her blog entries today) while she swims & showers before a dinner guest arrives at 6. Otherwise, I think she would still be sitting at her desk, refreshing the Daily Prompt page every few seconds. Yes, we may have to start thinking about staging an intervention. Now, excuse me while I check for the Prompt again – I haven’t checked in almost 3 minutes.

Perhaps more than one person on the hook?

Thanks, Patti. I guess all that energy formerly expended at Vivian dances has to go somewhere!

I now realize that the prompt has become too important to me. Time to move into the windowless shack in the woods I’ve been considering.

A science-so the Savants say,
“Comparative Anatomy”-
By which a single bone-
Is made a secret to unfold
Or some rare tenant of the mold,
Else perished in the stone-
So to the eye prospective led,
This meekest flower of the mead
Upon a winter’s day
Stands representative in gold
Of Rose and Lily,manifold,
And countless Butterfly!
